Second Place

Third Place

I must say that 3rd place for me was close between Spencer's first
picture and Mango's first picture. Having said that, I think that
Spencer's will have to be my pick for 3rd.

Just a note for whoever's listening. Page # is not an accurate location
method as the site allows you to customize page size, or # of posts per
page. I'll be along with my votes later on. Yup, I think I like that
Spencer picture too!

Yup, Johns correct.

Forget the page number thing- I thought it would make it easier to
locate the photo but obviously not. Just write down the post number.

I like the Ntappin stairset photo (post #73) too...was going to tie it
for third place with my vote. Then I realised it woudn't work!

PLEASE do not tie photos because it effectively gives that person
posting extra voting power. Any votes with tied photos (eg 2 x photos
both 3rd equal) will be nulliefied in the results.

Also, the closing date for voting is 20 Jan 2007 not 2006 :p

I was torn on my 3rd place vote...between two photos of Spencer. The
vertical hair from Moab is classic, but I like his hand position in the
balancing shot. It's like he's snake charming his unicycle seat.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for posting this. I'm just trying to make sense of the data
tabulation, and hope you'll bear with me as I'm easily confused. The
way I'm reading this is that all first place (1), second place (2), and
third place (3) votes are laid out for each photo, then added together,
using the place of the vote as the weight. Do I have that right?

If that's correct, then I question the weighting system, and here is
why:

Photo A receives five first place votes (1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
Photo B receives two third place votes (3, 3)

Photo B wins, 6 to 5, even though only two people found it cool enough
to give any votes at all, and those were third place. Two third place
votes trump five first place votes.

This isn't adding up for me, but since it's already been established
I'm a simple peddler, I'm hoping you can provide additional clarity.

Thanks,

TB

It's on the first post.
1st place votes = 3 points
2nd place= 2 points
3rd place = 1 point

The first series was just a tally of points (not placings)
The second list is the total points
